Poll: Elon Musk’s Moves to Make Twitter Transparent Widely Popular
63% of Voters with an Opinion Say They Support Musk’s Ongoing Efforts to Make Twitter a More Free and Transparent Platform
(Austin, TX—December 5, 2022) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted November 30th through December 3rd of over 1,000 likely general election voters.
“A strong majority of common-sense voters in both parties see what Elon Musk is doing with Twitter and understand it is incredibly good for the country and critical both for free speech and a free society. They understand that transparency is always in everyone’s best interest,” said Mark Meckler, President of the Convention of States. “But what about the voters who register the opposite? Are they opposed to free speech and transparency? Perhaps some are, but we suspect many voters are stuck in the ‘red team v. blue team’ mentality, where they interpret their news based on personality—and whether or not that specific personality is part of their team—rather than looking at policy. We believe a majority of Democrats in this poll oppose Elon Musk simply because they see his actions as harming Democrats.”
